[Watch] Ravindra Jadeja strikes thrice inside 2 overs in CSK vs KKR IPL 2024 clash

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also struck with the first ball of his spell, dismissing Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) Angkrish Raghuvanshi in the IPL 2024 clash at the Chepauk on Monday. The left-arm spinner also went on to dismiss Sunil Narine three deliveries later, making it a hugely successful over.

Raghuvanshi, who got off to a promising start, went for the reverse sweep against the Saurashtra all-rounder. However, the ball hit he pad, with the right-hander failing to hit the ball and the umpire gave it out lbw. Replays suggested that the ball hit just the top of the leg stump.

Narine, meanwhile, chased a ball wide outside off-stump and sliced it to long-off as Maheesh Theekshana took a comfortable catch.

The 35-year-old also went on to dismiss Venkatesh Iyer as the left-hander mistimed a pull shot to deep mid-wicket, with Daryl Mitchell taking an outstanding catch. The Super Kings had won the toss and Ruturaj Gaikwad sent the visiting side into bat.

While the Knight Riders played the same side, the hosts affected three changes, bringing in Sameer Rizvi, Shardul Thakur, and Mustafizur Rahman.
